Oliver Hides takes your calls on wildfires, Harry and Meghan, and best benches.

What lessons do we need to learn from this year's wildfires? Is it a welcome return for Harry and Meghan? And is there a bench somewhere that means a lot to you?

Wales needs to learn lessons about how it deals with wildfires, according to a Welsh Government minister.
Dafydd Trystan Davies, the minister for government effectiveness, said that in an era of climate change, "we're likely to see more wildfires".
There are plans to hold a fire summit later this year to "learn the lessons we can from this summer".
So we're asking you...
What lessons do we need to learn from this year's wildfires?

Prince Harry and Meghan are set to move back to the UK, the BBC understands.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have enrolled their children in a British school to start in September.
King Charles was told of the move on Sunday - but neither Prince Harry or Meghan intend to resume their roles as royals.
So is it a welcome return for Harry and Meghan? We want to hear your thoughts...

And finally, a man who rates public benches has finally found his first ten out of ten.
Sam Wilmot started the Instagram page Rate This Bench in 2019, and has since rated over 300 benches.
But one bench at St John The Baptist Church in Old Sodbury, South Gloucestershire has become the first to achieve full marks.
Sam will be joining us on the show to explain why...
But is there a bench somewhere that means a lot to you?
